Nobody wants to control the multimedia system with an ordinary Keyboard, especially I've need only 6 keys to control the device. Not even I. So it's get time to install the asus digital home remote control. As I've mentioned already, with that remote and its usb-dongle, you can wakeup your system from suspend (from disk only!), it has also the 5 direction buttons (up, down, left, right, ok) and some more special ones, we can use for other things (like toggle fullscreen, quit elisa and display the menu).
Generally for Remote Controls, there is the LIRC-Project, which is by elisa as an input device. That is very good, because this project also support this remote control. Perfect!
Okay. Lets get it on!
